sturgillsjpg.jpg
sturgillsjpg.jpg698 viewsThis picture had the inscription "taken from behind Aunt Callie's house" on it. It's the view of the Sturgill's community facing the road to Lansing (Rt. 194?) and was taken in about 1930, I'd guess. My recollection of recent visits is that the view hasn't changed all that much. Callie Pennington was married to I.R. Kilby (second marriages for both). I believe their son Glenn inherited this property and his son Terry continues to live there. Photo courtesy of Emily Kilby
